thanks for posting the pics for me i was wondering what you guys think for a rough score the first guy has mass and the second has the height

300, you can take my answer with a grain of salt since I have never hunted pronghorn before (It's on my wish list though!) but I see nothing wrong with it. Is it a B&C buck....NO....but that's not how you should measure a trophy. If you're happy with him, the hunt was ethical, you worked hard for him, and you enjoyed the essence of the hunt then I say it's a trophy!

Of course, if you were after nothing but a "book" buck then maybe you pulled the trigger too early. I guess it would also depend on the trophy possibilities of the unit you were hunting in.

Bottom line, I would not have hesitated to pull the trigger. Again, I've never harvested one before so my view is a bit jadded but I see nothing wrong with it at all!

both are great looking bucks and if they are trophys in your eyes then that is all that matters. can you give us a story as to what happend on your hunt.

congrats on a couple of good looking goats.

I'm terrible at scoring these also, but congrats on some fine looking Goats and it looks fun!

Hope to get a good one some day also.

I'd have shot them. Especially if there was a good story to tell over antelope filets and a cold beer! To me, the only thing that would be unethical is if they were staked out for you or you just drove up and shot it from the cab of the truck.
